Hi

Just reviewing Solar Accounts.
Finding it very simple after mainly using Sage and QuickBooks, trying to post a payroll journal and bank payments that include VAT.

It's great to hear you like Solar Accounts!

Please see this page for details of how to record employee payments:
http://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/help/how-to-record-paye-and-ni-contributions.php

And this page gives an example of recording payment to a supplier made from your bank account:

Hi

Thanks for your prompt response.

The bank payments are for direct payments from the bank statement, like bank charges, interest.

Hi

Bank charges and interest payments are recorded in the same way as other expenses. Set the Paid To field to the name of your bank and the Paid From Account to 'Cheque Account'. If you are registered for VAT then set the VAT rate to 0%.

Regards,

Hi Mark

Just to check with the bank payments of charges,
do I enter from payments - as it asks for supplier, customer account.

When trying to post from general transaction, there is no where to enter vat.

Hi

For bank charges the supplier is 'Barclays' or 'HSBC' etc.

Solar Accounts treats General Transactions as 'Out of Scope' for VAT purposes. Instead create a Money Received or Money Paid Out transaction, or an invoice.
